Hi All,

Got home from a meeting tonight at around 10pm. Set up the scope and iteratively polar aligned three times. Selected the comet and there it was in the eyepiece. Got the DSI-pro out and whacked it in at prime focus. Had to do some experimenting with the exposure times, finally settled on 60 second exposures. Got 30 mins of Luminance in before she went below the horizon. Just took the combined shot out and tweaked it with levels and curves in photoshop. If I can get Registax to work on my PC again, I'll work on a video as well.

My first comet image with the scope.

Hope you like!

Cheers
Stuart.
